This has just popped up on SRO Audiences. I offer it without comment:
Can a cockroach live for a week without its head? Can an octopus get an erection? Can a comedian tell the difference between badger and bat poo?
Join wildlife expert and TV presenter Chris Packham for the pilot of his hilarious new comedy wildlife panel show, Nevermind The Woodcocks, and you might well find out.
Our host Chris is joined by our two celebrity teams as they compete over a series of funny animal-based rounds.
Nevermind The Woodcocks is the new mischievous comedy panel show that proves what a completely entertaining place the natural world really is. A place where fact is always funnier than fiction.
The pilot is being recorded in London on Monday 17th December 2012 at The Rada Studio Theatre (formerly The Drill Hall), 16 Chenies Street, WC1E 7EX (nearest tube Goodge Street). If you would like to join us for a night of fun, then apply now!
If that sounds appealing, and goodness knows what channel this is being aimed at, you can apply for tickets here.
In other news, the Jeffrey Salmon’s Four Rooms position to be covered by a series of rotating dealers including Tamara Beckwith.
for those who follow Un Minuto Per Vincere, it was moved to Wednesday. This means that the next episode is tomorrow night
I am curious to know if networks in the UK like to move programs around on a short notice like that.
No, rarely if ever happens. The advertisers like to know what shows their ads are going to be around.
Woodcocks is for Radio 4, as detailed in this rather super document:

Awful title, natch.
That does explain it being at RADA studios. The only thing I’ve been to there was a terrible radio show I’d rather not describe, that I went to purely for guaranteed QI tickets.
